>> now that's a great idea, nailed it good morning. you were alive in the cnn newsroom, america hill in for jim acosta 80 years ago today, the course of world war and democracy changed forever president biden joining other world leaders at this hour as they mark this milestone anniversary of d-day, the allied invasion of normandy. >> you see there of course, the french president emmanuel macron, as well as ukraine's president volodymyr zelenskyy. this morning, mr. biden meeting with a handful of the last remaining us veterans stormed those beaches, are parachuted behind enemy lines. as the men today, they're all around 100-years-old, making this anniversary, especially poignant as a world pays tribute to this greatest generation the man who, fought

here became heroes. not because they're the strongest and toughest job or fiercest although they were. but because they're given an audacious mission knowing everyone on the new the probability of dying was real. but they did it anyway they knew and beyond any doubt there are things that are worth fighting and dying for some 2,500 americans died on d-day along with 2000 of their allies. the invasion of nazi occupied france marked a major turning point leading to the end for nazi germany. and to the emergence of the us as a superpower. this year, ceremonies common mid rising tensions both abroad and at home. as wars raged and ukraine, i didn't gaza. and as democracy is once again at risk joining me now to discuss further, we're joined by leah wright rigueur, of course historian, as we look back on

this, leah, the comparisons that have been made by world leaders, this morning, including president biden, including defense secretary lloyd austin, drawing parallels to what the world was facing 80 years ago oh ahead of this invasion of, on d-day. and what the world is facing now in terms of threats to democracy, is that parallel accurate i think it's a fantastic parallel. >> we're on the precipice of a different kind of challenge to democracy. and one that certainly has parallels to what we saw between this eruption between the allied and axis forces in the 1940s by dk june, the very famous june 6 invasion on the beaches of normandy. so certainly, i think the president of the united states and secretary of defense will be trying to make these comparisons and we'll be trying to be talking about the significance of democracy. this is a perfect time to do it. it's also an incredibly important time incredibly

significant time to do it because so much of the question of democracy is in crisis globally, we have countries around the world that have simply, i think forgotten what it means to be a democratic globe or democratic nation. >> so this is an opportunity, particularly at the precipice of this moment with ukraine, with other global geopolitics, political global issues that are arising around the world. >> it is a perfect time for the united states to remind the world what our role has been in it, and what our role should be around the context of democracy only has stayed with him ever going to come back to that. i also to bring in my colleague christiane amanpour, who is at the american cemetery in normandy christiane, you have covered this anniversary since 1994. we're talking there about the link. obviously the president biden had made that historic link. i was struck by something you said earlier today two is where we were just looking at pictures of president zelenskyy. they're making the comparison that the police we are hearing from ban mirror zelenskyy in this moment

or not at all, dissimilar to what churchill was doing some 80 years ago trying to rally support look, that's absolutely right at that time, america had no real reason to be entering the war until 1941 off pearl harbor, of course. >> and it was attacked on the homeland but in the meantime, you know, even before that the british who had been fighting off the nazis for as long as they possibly could. and that was the blitz. and there was the bombing of the uk and obviously europe was occupied. they would desperate for the united states to join this fight because they just, they knew they needed that weapon three, that heavy weaponry that only the united states had, plus they needed more people is very similar to what you're seeing in ukraine right now and when we heard all the speeches, you everything was framed today in the fact that these people who have laid to their final rest in the cemetery behind me and so many others on d-day and

throughout the liberation of occupied europe, they fought for something that nobody expected to see, a raging war in europe. at years after i spoke to the chairman of the joint chiefs general cq brown, i spoke to the head of nato general christopher cavoli, an all of them said the same, and erika interestingly, i also spoke to tom hanks. now, yes, he is an actor, but he has spent so much of his acting life and his production company along with steven spielberg creating an anthology of world war ii starting with saving private ryan two, then the band brothers the pacific and now masters of the air on apple tv he is really committed himself as a lay historian to keeping this history alive for people and for future generations and both of them, were here. i managed to speak to tom in an exclusive interview. he came and joined me and this is what he said about storytelling i

remember when we, when we should and by the way, this is one of the reasons steven spielberg wanted to make the movie. he said finally, i'll be able to do with film technology. i'll actually be able to capture what happened on omaha beach. and here's what i'm gonna do it. first. it's going to take three weeks as i gotta is going to be your single day. and third, we're going to have all kinds of stuff going off and forth in-between. there will make some sort of movie at the same time, we're trying to load it up with as much authentic. i wanted to use the word again, verisimilitude is weekend. okay, that's our job as filmmakers it's also our job as lay historians because for good or for bad that movie is a document that has to accurately reflect the tenor of that day. and i'd like to think that we did and hearing it from a number of people that said, as confusing as that is while multiply that by, we did not have this smell of core died or burning flesh or blood on the

sand. but we did have some version of that. how whatever you can get out of emotion picture. i think we captured it and to stevens credit and i will also go along with the audiences credit as well. they were willing to suspend whatever disbelief of it and say, i've always if you've ever wondered what it was like, that's as close as somebody in davenport, iowa, oakland california, or minneapolis, minnesota was going to get to that of course, he's right. 26 years after saving private ryan, it remains such a watch films such irrelevant film, and i just wanted to tell you something. >> tom said that the people who who who met the call on d-day, the young kids, some of them 17-years-old. so many of them did it because it was the right thing, not a lot of them had a lot of choice, but in general, the americans, the british, everybody knew that it was the right thing to fight this kind of a tyranny. and so i was

interviewing 101-year-old veteran and survivor of d-day jake larson, just a couple of hours ago and i said to him do you remember why you were doing this? >> and excuse my language around quoting him. >> he said yes our job was to kick hitler's out of europe and we did it it's amazing that's essentially the sum up of this whole day. and actually today it's putin who threatens the security of europe and the whole north atlantic alliance and the rules of the road that the united states led an implemented for the world in the international world order after world war ii, all that's a threat and it scared right now, well, in terms of what is it threat, what is it's taking or tom hanks talking about the importance of storytelling, the storytelling in this moment we live in this age of misinformation and disinformation and there's also a sense in many ways, as i know, you know, all too well, that a number of perhaps world leader there's and even

citizens in democracies at this point don't see this threat in the same way and don't necessarily feel the democracy is. >> in fact under attack the way that we are hearing it is from these leaders. this morning. is there a sense that these ceremonies today, that this reminder of what happened 80 years ago could change that well, i think there's certainly a hope i'm clearly if people are paying attention, it is obviously going to jog people's memories. >> you know, who have memories and maybe inspire those who have no, not much about it. i think i spoke too to several people here today who felt that if the time came, let's save the homeland was attached to all that kind of thing. then they would rush to its defense as as as you've seen ukrainians do today in their country. and what you saw on d-day and throughout the whole of the liberation of europe,

back in the 1940s. and you know that right now, democracy is under attack all over the world authoritarianism is on the rise, and this is a real problem, even this weekend, they're going to be elections to the european parliament and it stores but that the far parties, whether it's in france, in germany, in the netherlands elsewhere, we'll do very, very well. and this is incredibly, incredibly worrying. but again, biden raised what reagan said 40 years ago, that democracy is worth dying for our countries are worth dying for, because this democracy and this freedom as reagan said, is the most noble form of government ever devised. >> and biden essentially reprised that thought and he is framing a lot of what he speaks about today and tomorrow. >> he'll go to plan to hawk just overlooking omaha beach and give another big speech there tomorrow. and it's all framed in this notion that what

we have is worth fighting for. and if we do not fight for it, we will lose it. and that is a very clear, clear situation right now. >> yeah, absolutely. and so many so many parallels that speech around paul reagan, some 40 years ago, really coming up again and again christiane. appreciate it as always. thank you so much i want to continue the conversation now with retired air force colonel and scene and military analysts cedric late and colonel latent defense secretary lloyd austin, earlier today said, at toward the end of his speech, you save the world, speaking to those veterans, they're saying we must it's now defendant has christiana and i were just talking about i'm wondering if that message for you hits different this year well, i think it really hits differently because of the really the strife that we're dealing with politically as well as some of the challenges that we're dealing with especially when it comes to ukraine, but also the challenges in the middle east all of these come out in a way that really makes it difficult

for us to focus on what these people did a bag 80 years ago. >> and what our job really is today, because today we have an obligation not only to defend democracy, but to solidify democracy. not only here you're at home, but also abroad. and it has proven to be, as unworkable as it seems to be in many cases. it really is the best form of government that man has devised so far and that is what it was worth fighting for back 80 years ago. and it's worth fighting for today. and that becomes erika, i think one of the critical elements here we are in essence celebrating not only what they did on d-day, the immense logistical achievements, the immense achievements in terms of intelligence, in terms of military operations. but also the fact that they rolled back a tyranny back then and now we have to carry that torch forward to de to do, in

essence, the same thing and make sure that tyranny doesn't really grab a foothold. aware, it shouldn't grab a foothold and that's really anywhere on earth we're talking so much about what this means today in the broader context, right? the diplomacy that we're seeing it play the very important speeches, but there is also such a personal element to this. and it's very moving. these ceremonies are so moving not just because of what they represent, right? what could have been where this not successful, but also because of these gentlemen who we you see gather their average age of 100. this is likely one of the last milestone anniversaries, which will have veterans who were there on that day at those ceremonies. and i know there's a personal connection and your family as well, just let's talk about that moment. if we could, because i think this is what really hits a lot of americans in the gut and really inspires that gratitude for veterans across this country to see these gentlemen who, as we know, this greatest generation, they didn't talk about what

they did. that was not the point here they are today. it is so moving. >> it really is. and erika, when you look at the faces of these gentleman and a few ladies out there who, who served during that time, you really see not only a pride in what they did, but also that's stoicism that i think was part of the way they did things. and in my personal as far as my family is concerned, my dad served in world war two as an army and ceo with that particular point in time. and he was in the intelligence business. he was a signals intelligence operator and one of the things that happened as d-day was basically evolving as it was unrolling on the shores of normandy. all the radio traffic from the germans, from the british from some of the resistance forces in france, in belgium, all of that radio traffic increased exponentially

plea networks that had been silent for a long time, all of a sudden came back to life. and this was the moment that many people in occupied europe had been waiting for. i occupied france said suffered for three years, four years at that point in time, the under nazi occupation patient i, other parts of europe had suffered for even longer periods of time. this was the beginning of the ability to turn back the tide there had been an invasion of italy earlier. there was also an invasion of southern france, but this was the preeminent invasion, and this was the one that made the difference in western and central europe. >> yeah, they really did kernel always appreciate talking with you, my friend, but especially today. thank you. >> thank you. eric and our live coverage will continue as world leaders commemorate this 80th anniversary of d-day the increase in wildfires is

hearing testimony from hunter biden his ex-wife, and his ex-girlfriend, but she is arguably the most significant witness for the prosecution because right now they are obviously charging hunter out lying on a form when he purchased just a firearm, when he said that he was not using or addicted to illegal drugs but they have not presented any direct evidence, anything that would prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt that he was indeed tv using illegal drugs in october 2018, they have people testifying they saw him using drugs as late as september 2018, but they don't have any direct evidence and she is the most likely person who's gonna be able to provide that for the prosecution to all eyes on that witness stand to hear what she has to say in this case polo, this is just the most recent, so we heard from both his ex-wife and an ex-girlfriend yesterday laying out what they did or didn't see around the time of this gun purchase. >> this is so significant this morning, especially because the prosecution is about to wrap up this case that's exactly

right. they have six more witnesses. >> they're expected to wrap today hallie is expected to really be the key person right here from but yesterday i was in court and let me tell you, the jury, they were sitting up straight and they were leaving it as is ex-wife and ex-girlfriend testified, the ex-wife was only on the stand briefly to testify about what she first discovered his issues with addiction, but she testified she didn't really know what he was up to and 20 18, i never actually saw him using drugs, but the ex-girlfriend testified that she saw hunter biden smoking crack every 20 minutes while they were spending extended periods of time in hotels on the east and west coast. but she had a gap in her testimony. she said but she didn't see him between september 2018 and november 2018, so she couldn't provide prosecutors with a key detail they needed, but luck the jury, they were very attentive as she does bribe of these luxury hotel stays, meeting hunter and a gentleman's club that's how they were first introduced. and then these fancy dinners and even these sketchy interactions she had with drug dealers. so that was definitely some lively testimony yesterday. but hallie

biden, they will likely be just as attentive for her considering are significant against for the charges at the heart of this case? >> yeah, absolutely. paul, it really appreciate the breaking news here and we'll be talking with you again just a short minute as we continue to follow that testimony. thank you. >> also want to bring you up to speed on some news breaking overnight, at least 52 people in central gaza are dead after an israeli airstrike targeted a un runs school and compound that was being used to shelter displaced palestinians. >> now the idf says it was targeting hamas militants using that school cnn, however, cannot confirm those claims. this is new video from just this morning. the strike comes as israeli forces ramp up ground and aerosols in the center of the gaza strip. i seen as jeremy diamond joining us now from jerusalem with more so in terms of that strike last night, jeremy, the number keeps increasing in terms of those those who were killed, what more do we know yeah thousands of displaced palestinians were sheltering at this unrwa school. >> turns shelter at the moment

of this strike. it. happened overnight when people on the scene say that the victims who were targeted here, we're sleeping the death toll now now stands at 40 people who are killed in this single strike of those, a majority of them are women and children according to a luxe martyrs hospital, nine women and 14 children with the youngest standing at just four years the israeli military for its part, says that it was targeting hamas militants who were hiding in this un cool. they say they were targeting 20 to 30 militants in this strike. they also claimed that they were not aware of any civilian casualties, although as i noted, we've seen footage of the bodies of children as well as these hospital records from a luxe indicating that there were at least 14 children killed in this strike the israeli military, saying that it was targeting these hamas and palestinian islamic jihad militants who are in this facility. they said that they were actively planning attacks

against israeli troops. it appears that the israeli military, once again used us made munitions for this strike the gbu-39 small diameter bomb fragments of those were found at the scene by a journalist working for us in central gaza, analyzed by munitions experts, that was the same type of munition that was used in that devastating strike that killed 45 people in western rafah just over a week ago, the un, the head of the unrwa but the un's main agency in gaza, philippe lazzarini says that this shelter was housing about 6,000 people at the time of the strike. he said that targeting un premises or using them for military purposes cannot become the new norm calling on this to stop and that all those responsible should be held accountable. erika jeremy, i appreciate the update and reporting. thank-you all right. now, president biden and world leaders are commemorating the 80th anniversary of d-day in france. our live coverage continues. on the other side of this quickly the cnn

election subversion case against donald trump and several of his co-defendants. ease now paused indefinitely delivering a massive legal victory for the former president who is hoping to push these legal issues into 2025, perhaps at least at the very least until after the 2024 election, the appeals court in georgia ruling the case, there cannot go forward until a panel of judges decides whether fulton county district attorney, fani willis is disqualified, that the da kann ask the appeals court to fast track that case. the timeline, though e is completely up to the court and happening in the next hour. steve bannon will be in a us district court over a justice department request to have him begins serving his four-month prison sentence. trump's former adviser was convicted nearly two years ago. i've contempt of congress after defying a subpoena tina involving the january 6 capitol riots, cnn political correspondent sara marie is live outside us district court in washington. so sarah, what are we expecting in court today?

>> while erika, this is really a continuing legal fight about whether it's time for steve bannon to face the repercussions of his decision to defy that house committee that was investigating the january 6 attack on the us capitol, as you pointed out, he was years ago when steve bannon was convicted, it was july 2022 when our jury found him guilty of two counts of contempt of congress for refusing to provide testimony and refusing to provide documents to that house committee investigating january 6, the judge sentenced him to four months behind bars for that, but the judge put a hold on his sentence and allowed band into remain free while he appealed his conviction, his first crack at that appeal, though, failed. the appeals court rejected it, upheld his conviction. now the justice department says, it's time for bannon to be behind bars. man, as attorneys say, he deserves more time to ask the full appeals court to revisit this decision and go to the supreme court if necessary. >> wow, this sounds like tactic we've seen in other cases in terms of delaying and dragging

former specialist sits into president george w bush, scott jennings, and cnn political commentator and former south carolina state representative bacardi sellers. good to see you both this morning. supercar. i'm going to start with you in terms of what is happening in georgia, this case. now pause indefinitely while we wait to hear from the appeals court. i give two of your titles. what my friend you are also an attorney so for the folks playing at home, this is what i'm gonna have you put on your legal hat here what are the chances that they would in fact fast-track this case given its implications with an upcoming election i think what you're seeing right now is partisan partisan politics playing a role in these decisions to kind of slow, slow track. >> this hearing in these cases and the decision on whether or not fani willis can continue as prosecutor the fact is there's no legal grounds to remove her. and so this case will happen the question is whether or not it's going to happen in early 2025 or later in 2025 rico cases in georgia are very, very difficult to bring. they take a lot of time, then i'll have to

do was point that point of view as to the case right now of young it's a rico case. it's like eight months to seat a jury and it's still ongoing right now and may go into next year. and so these let's take a while anyway this is somewhat of a self-inflicted wound by fani willis. however, there's no legal grounds to remove her, so they should fast-track it. they simply won't because of politics. >> it's got, when we look at this it is a bit of a win, at least in this moment for donald trump, we know how the trump legal team has been put machine for fani willis be taken off of this case. i'm sure we will hear about this when he is out on the trail today the case itself, though, there were multiple plea deals from co-defendants here the allegations are serious. when you look at this, are you concerned that perhaps trump taking a victory lap and even this delay overshadows some of the very serious concerns when it comes to allegations of trying to overthrow an election there are serious issues here? i totally agree with you. i think the case was warranted

when they brought it. i think if you're someone who is concerned about it being delayed, you need to understand that the whole reason it's being delayed is because the prosecutor willis is ethically and politically compromised. trump and his team raised legitimate issues that's why it's slowed down and it's their right to do that as a defendant and he is innocent until proven otherwise. and so yeah, i agree. serious issues, but the prosecutor here had serious lapses of judgment and if it doesn't go to trial before the election, it's on her, not anybody else. >> i just want to play just for folks who may not remember some of the things that, that fani willis said this is, this is one of the comments you made back in march arch i don't feel like my reputation needs to be reclaimed. >> let's say for the record, i'm not embarrassed by anything. i've done you know, i guess my greatest crime is i had a relationship with a man, but that's not something that i find embarrassing in any way. and i know that i have not done any the thing that's illegal bacardi. >> bacardi. you mentioned some of this was self-inflicted on the part of fani willis but

you're confident, do you think that that can be overcome? >> no question about it. i mean, look, if you want to say she had a lapse in judgment, so be it. if you want to say she should not have had a relationship with nathan wade, so be it all of those are fair she's not ethically compromised. she's she did not do anything illegal. in fact, you have to have more than the appearance of impropriety in the state of georgia. if you go by the rule of law, donald trump is going to have day in court. it was never going to be had in the state of georgia prior to 2024. so that's somewhat of a red herring. these rico cases just take too long to bring. and so the question is when in 2025 will this happen when does he want to be cooked? does he want to be cook? now, what does he want to be later? that's the question. his time will come in. fani willis, we'll be the one who prosecutes them. she brought a legitimate case. she brought a sound case. some of his co-defendants have already pled guilty and this is the case in probably the only case where donald trump actually has exposure to jail time. and so he scared he should be let's turn our attention now,

gentlemen, if we could to arizona, where as i mentioned, some of donald trump's key allies expected to be arraigned in that state's election subversion case. >> today. as we look at where this stands excuse me, scott, the allergies are killing me today, so i apologize when we look at when we look at this case he's in terms of arizona is any of this having an impact, scott, you think on the voters? because again, right. as you both noted, the charges in georgia, very serious charges in arizona, very serious. is that getting through? >> i think it's already gotten through. i mean, i think it's already part of how people view the donald trump candidacy for 2024. whether you think about it at a macro level, january 6, or you think about it at a state-level, georgia or arizona, or any other state where people did things they should not have done people have already taken all but into consideration and you see it short of showing up in the polling. i mean, there is a reason that joe biden is stuck in the high 30s on job

approval. but it's still somewhat competitive and the head to ads at the national levels, some of it is wrapped up in this. so get the individual cases cause drastic movements of the needle on it a daily basis. and these dates? no. >> but i think the overall topic does put something of an anvil on the trump campaign. >> as voters decide whether that's more important to them or are things like the economy, immigration, and other issues that they're weighing in their daily lives. >> so that's steady drumbeat. makari, i mean, we've seen some of the most some polling multiple things can be true at once. and i know you both know this, right? voters can care about more than one issue. the economy incredibly important for voters for a number of voters. so is preserving democracy. are democrats doing enough bucaram hammer that point home? >> yeah, in fact, i'm actually kinda tired of hearing it. they've been hammering that drumbeat for a very long period, almost to the exclusion of some other messaging. but, you know, i'm not sure scott. scott is quite right on in these particular states, like

georgia and like arizona, it's not going to move the needle in wide swaths. but the consistent drumbeat, it's like the death by 1,000 cuts, having these stories headline after headline day after day, it builds into these narrative that republicans are unable to lead, that the law and order party that once was under ronald reagan as they like to claim, is no more that it's an embarrassment that they find themselves arrested a rain convicted consistently corruption. all of those things are embodied in this steady messaging and drumbeat. and you tie that into the fact, particularly in arizona, that which is a swing state, that you have the kind of standard bearer of the republican party being kari lake. when you have very poor candidates combined with these steady headlines that is a recipe for failure. so it's a good day to be a democrat or ruben gallego in the state of arizona. >> it's an interesting duty database. steve bannon, as we sit two topics here for our last question, he's doing cord in the next hour we're waiting

to hear when he will begin this four-month prison sentence. he's been able to delay it several times in the past. scott, what do you expect each way and really quickly on this? what do you expect today? >> i don't really know. i'm not an attorney and i was just reading up on this case before we came on the air. it's very confusing and very convoluted, i guess what i would say is he like every other defendant in this country, deserves all of the legal processes that are afforded to american citizens that he's taken advantage of. all of them so i don't want really know what's going to happen but i guess if i were in his shoes, i'd be doing the same thing and that's trying to keep my rear-end out of jail. sorry. how much longer can you go down this path about law, love most. >> i agree with scott it i did a lot of criminal defense work and you know, most people are afforded an exhaust every path they can't every process they can. the difference between most americans and steve bannon is that they do it from behind bars. and so i believe that he'll spend the next four months and a nice cozy sale

somewhere in a work camp and healing just have to get used to it. i mean, you do the crime, you pay the time. that's what they say bacardi scott. >> good to see you as always. thank you both. >> thank you. thank you we are following new details this hour from hunter biden's federal trial, of course, on gun charges, a star witness. >> now on the stand. a witness testifying that he introduced her to crack in 2018. we are live at the courthouse next there's no war, so hateful war between kin war between trackers house of the dragon, streaming exclusively on mac. today at america's beverage companies are models might still look the same, but they can be remade in a whole new way. >> thanks to you. >> we're getting bottles back and we've developed a way to make new ones from 100% recycled plastic new bottles made using no new plastic.

sleeping z, knowing your finances are in order, go to facet.com to get your free score today this suis, but kaitlan collins tonight at nine breaking news in hunter biden's federal gun trial. >> prosecutors have called perhaps their most significant witness, yet hallie biden, the widow of beau biden, who later

was in a relationship with hunter biden is on the stand at this hour providing details about her relationship with hunter, efforts to help him get clean and also testimony about the gun at the center of this case, which she threw in a dumpster in 2018, paula reid joining us now with those very latest details, apollo brings us up to speed on what hallie biden is sharing now with the court erika, this is the most significant testimony we have heard so far in this trial to kick off her time on the stand. hallie biden described how she became romantically involved with hunter biden, who was of course, her brother-in-law. she is the widow of his late brother, bo biden she said it began after beau died in 2015 and describe their relationship as beginning gradually. she also said that she occasionally saw hunter with very large crack rocks. there were size of ping pong balls. she said that she witnessed hunters smoke crack cocaine in the past and was even with him when he bought drugs from various dealers in washington dc she

also testified that she had conversations with him about his drug use in 2017 and 2018 and she testified that sometimes he would say, look, just leave me alone other times he said that he was it's going to handle his addiction, his way. now, our reporters inside the court, of course, there are no cameras. that's why i'm reading off of these notes. we're getting from our reporters inside. they note that hunter has been watching her very attentively as she testifies. now, she also testified that hunter introduced her to crack in 2018 and that she get abused the drug. she said that it was a terrible experience and she's embarrassed and ashamed and regrets that period of her life. now, she says that she quit in august 20 teen and that is significant because that's pretty close to the time in question in terms of the criminal charges at the heart of this case, the gun that he purchased was bought in october 2018 so far, no witnesses or direct evidence has established that hunter biden was indeed using or addicted to illegal

drugs in october 2018? but then she provided testimony that could potentially make the prosecutors case. erika, she said that on october 23, 2018, she went to clean out hunter's car. >> and while he was asleep and she found drugs and that gun, she said, i found remnants of crack cocaine and drug paraphernalia. and this was alongside the gun that she actually took and then threw in a dumpster at a local store now, this is incredibly significant because this is the first person who has been able to take the stand and testify that they have some evidence that hunter biden may have been either using or addicted to drugs at the time in question. now, i would the defense attorneys are going to point out the fact that she has not said that she personally witnessed him using drugs. but this is incredibly damaging for the defense yeah, certainly as we continue to follow that, there was also to move in from house republicans yesterday, who seemed to have their sights set on potentially more criminal charges when it comes to hunter biden, are

recommendation, what more can you tell us about that? >> that's right. they made to criminal referrals, one for hunter biden, won for his uncle, james biden. now, again, there's been a lot at a back and forth between hunter biden's team and folks on the hill and over the past year, you've seen hundred take a much more aggressive approach to his detractors, while many in the white house would prefer that he'd not make anymore of a scene. he has gone up to the hill with his lawyers, abbe lowell and kevin morris. they have sat in on hearings about hunter biden. they have showed up to try to avoid contempt by holding a press conference on the hill well, instead of showing up for testimony, so there's been a lot of back-and-forth between hunter biden and the hail, but unclear if this criminal referral will really go anywhere. hunter biden is already, of course, facing to criminal trials. this because the first the second one is a tax case. it is expected to go to trial in september out in los angeles. >> paula, appreciate it. thank you and thanks to all of you for joining us this hour, america hill, please stay tuned. our live coverage from the 80th anniversary of d-day
